The Panel of Experts on Compensation for Victims of Human Rights Violations, including Demonstrations and Public Protests, led by Chairperson Prof. @makaumutua, paid a visit to Brian Mwangi Wangari in Ruiru, accompanied by Panel members, @IPOA_KE and @HakiKNCHR representatives. Brian was shot in the neck during the Nane Nane demonstrations in Karatina, Nyeri County, on August 8, 2024, rendering him paralysed from the neck down and bedridden. The visit reaffirmed the importance of justice, reparations, and national healing. @makaumutua @fokango @paulachar #NationalHealing #CompensationKe

Pres. @WilliamsRuto has an edge as the country gets into the campaign season.His ability to go down the Policy rabbit hole. None of his declared competitors exhibit such Policy mastery. We should see more forums! The presidency should explain itself, not just campaign for itself.

The president is at his strongest when he gets to unpack policy rather than compete for soundbites like his former Deputy. He can be methodical, data-driven and clearly enjoys the mechanics of government.

Seems the Presidential Town Hall rattled the political ecosystem, perhaps we need more of them. Next education, Agriculture,Housing,Finance,Infrastructure,Security. Kenyans then get the chance to really start interrogating Policy beyond the “Tutam” “Onetam” “Notam” soundbites

Pres. @WilliamsRuto has the policy range to engage these subjects in depth. His predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta was more spirited and politically instinctive, but rarely seemed interested in deep prolonged policy discussions. #HealthSummitKE

Town Hall’s are a useful reminder that Pres. @WilliamsRuto is the “Policy President” he has the patience&policy depth to sit down & explain government. A systematic communicator he likes the detail, the numbers& the architecture behind policy. We need more of these conversations

We need more of these one-on-one conversations, sector by sector. Less shouting and more of explaining to let Kenyans interrogate the Administrations record.

More sector-specific Presidential Town Halls needed. They cut through the noise, partisan bias& competing narratives, giving Pres. @WilliamsRuto an opportunity to directly explain what he has delivered, what remains unfinished, and where the country is headed. #HealthSummitKE

One year ago today, I was privileged to accompany one of Africa's greatest Pan-Africanists, His Excellency Hon. @RailaOdinga to Abuja. He sat down with @charlesaniagolu of @ARISEtv for what became a profound& far-reaching conversation #RailaOdinga youtu.be/sL_P7smpVc4?si=DxmI…

None of us knew then that it would be his last major international television interview before his passing on October 15, 2025. Today, I revisit that interview with a deep sense of gratitude and nostalgia. #PanAfricanism #RAOLegacy #Africa

His vision for Africa, his unwavering belief in unity, justice&the continent's future continue to inspire. I share @ARISEtv's moving tribute after his passing a fitting reminder of the legacy he left behind.May his ideas continue to light Africa's path. youtube.com/watch?v=axvKRVmm…

Young people must not be fooled by Martha Karua’s current moral posturing. 2007 showed whose interests were served and Kenya is still paying for that betrayal. Indeed the choices she made have consequences that will forever follow her @citizentvkenya @MarthaKarua @YvonneOkwara

Martha Karua’s sanctimony rings hollow. In 2007 her choices with Mwai Kibaki helped derail the people’s will and Kenya is still paying the price. Remember history before you praise the players. Gen Z needs to know our history @MarthaKarua @YvonneOkwara @citizentvkenya
